PEA RIDGE, AR – December 09, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Bow Tie Solutions, a Northwest Arkansas electrical contracting company, is highlighting the critical importance of regular electrical safety inspections as residential properties throughout Benton, Madison, and Washington counties continue to age beyond their original electrical system design specifications.

The Pea Ridge-based company reports that approximately 60 percent of homes built before 2000 operate with electrical panels and wiring systems that fall short of current power requirements. Modern household demands from home offices, smart technology, and electric vehicle charging stations place unprecedented strain on electrical infrastructure originally designed for simpler power needs.

“Homeowners often don’t realize their electrical systems are operating beyond capacity until they experience circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, or worse,” said Bill Towler, senior electrical contractor at Bow Tie Solutions. “Regular inspections can identify potential hazards before they become dangerous situations, particularly in homes where the original wiring has been in service for several decades.”

Bow Tie Solutions Residential Electrician services encompass comprehensive electrical system assessments that examine panel capacity, circuit load distribution, grounding systems, and overall wiring condition. These diagnostic evaluations provide property owners with detailed reports outlining current system status and necessary improvements to meet National Electrical Code standards.

The company’s certified electricians frequently encounter deteriorating wire insulation, improper grounding, and inadequate circuit distribution during residential inspections. These conditions can create fire hazards or cause expensive equipment damage if left unaddressed. Older homes particularly benefit from panel upgrades that replace obsolete electrical panels with current models capable of handling modern electrical loads safely.

Bow Tie Solutions Electrical Wiring expertise extends to identifying code compliance issues that may have developed over time or resulted from previous modifications to the home’s electrical system. The company’s inspection services help homeowners understand whether their current electrical infrastructure can safely support planned additions such as hot tubs, workshop equipment, or electric vehicle charging stations.

“We’re seeing increased demand for electrical system evaluations as more residents work from home and add high-demand appliances and technology,” noted Towler. “An inspection that might reveal minor issues today could prevent major safety hazards or costly emergency repairs tomorrow.”

The locally-owned company maintains emergency response capabilities for urgent electrical issues posing immediate safety risks. This service proves particularly valuable when inspections reveal critical problems requiring immediate attention to protect residents and property.

Bow Tie Solutions has served the Northwest Arkansas region for over four decades, establishing a reputation for safety, code compliance, and customer satisfaction. The company operates from its base in Pea Ridge, providing comprehensive electrical contracting services throughout Benton, Madison, and Washington counties. Beyond residential electrical services, the company offers generator maintenance and installation, automated gate installation, metal fabrication, and welding services. The company’s commitment to delivering expertise and reliability ensures every project meets the highest standards of safety and quality while adapting service offerings to meet evolving residential electrical needs throughout Northwest Arkansas.

Voytec Decorator Ltd, a professional decorating company recognised for craftsmanship in Venetian plaster, microcement, painting, and wallpaper installation, has announced significant improvements to its core services. The initiative reflects the company’s ongoing effort to strengthen quality, increase efficiency, and ensure consistent results for residential and commercial projects across West Yorkshire.

Founded and directed by Wojciech Wasilewski, Voytec Decorator Ltd has built a reputation for detailed workmanship, reliability, and clear communication. The latest updates are based on client feedback and internal evaluations, identifying opportunities to refine preparation methods, upgrade materials, and expand training for its team. The enhancements aim to ensure that every project, regardless of scale, meets consistent standards of finish and precision.

The improvements apply to painting, wallpaper installation, Venetian plaster, and microcement finishes. The goal is to achieve smoother surfaces, stronger adhesion, and greater durability while maintaining the company’s established focus on care and accuracy. These developments are intended to benefit both private homeowners and commercial clients seeking professional, cohesive decorative services.

The improvements stem from continuous assessment and a long-term commitment to high standards. Wojciech Wasilewski explained that the adjustments to preparation methods and application techniques are designed to improve control, precision, and consistency. Each update has been developed through on-site experience and feedback, ensuring that materials perform reliably and finishes maintain their appearance over time.

Preparation has received particular attention. The team now conducts detailed surface inspections and uses enhanced priming and sanding techniques to ensure better adhesion and consistency. Environmental factors such as humidity, airflow, and temperature are monitored to maintain predictable drying conditions and prevent surface irregularities.

Painting and wallpapering projects incorporate improved primers, adhesives, and coatings chosen for their performance and environmental responsibility. Low-VOC paints are recommended for living areas to promote healthier indoor air quality, while hard-wearing emulsions are used in corridors and commercial spaces where durability is critical.

For Venetian plaster and microcement services, Wojciech Wasilewski has introduced upgraded lime-based and polymer-modified materials sourced from trusted European suppliers. A revised multi-layer process enhances surface density, flexibility, and textural control. This process allows decorators to achieve more refined finishes, including high-gloss marble effects and subtle satin textures suited to modern interiors.

Training remains a central focus of the company’s development. All decorators receive structured instruction covering surface preparation, product compatibility, colour balance, and lighting influence. This training is reviewed regularly to include new materials and application systems. The company also promotes peer learning and mentorship, enabling experienced decorators to share techniques and best practices with new team members.

These service enhancements also align with the growing regional demand for sustainable and low-maintenance finishes. Across West Yorkshire, homeowners and developers are prioritising materials that offer long-term durability without environmental compromise. Venetian plaster and microcement, both lime- or mineral-based materials, meet this demand through their longevity, breathability, and natural composition. These finishes require minimal upkeep while providing seamless, elegant surfaces that resist moisture and daily wear.

The company’s integrated approach reduces client coordination challenges, ensuring efficient timelines and cohesive design results. The latest operational updates further strengthen relationships with local suppliers and trade partners, securing material consistency and timely delivery throughout Shipley, Bradford, Leeds, Harrogate, Halifax, Ilkley, and surrounding West Yorkshire towns including Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Wakefield, Pontefract, Huddersfield, York, Doncaster, Otley, Haworth, Burley-in-Wharfedale, Menston, Guiseley, Yeadon, Greengates, Apperley Bridge, and Horsforth.

Recent projects have already demonstrated the value of these updates. Clients have noted improvements in edge sharpness, texture uniformity, and project turnaround times. Builders and designers collaborating with Voytec Decorator Ltd have also commented on the clarity of communication, site organisation, and commitment to detail. These outcomes confirm that thoughtful procedural enhancements directly improve both aesthetic quality and client satisfaction.

To maintain transparency and quality assurance, Voytec Decorator Ltd now conducts final inspections using a documented checklist before project completion. This ensures that every element meets the company’s workmanship standards and that clients receive full maintenance guidance for long-term care. The business has also implemented feedback reviews to identify opportunities for further improvement on future projects.

As decorative materials evolve, demand grows for specialists capable of balancing aesthetic precision with environmental responsibility. Voytec Decorator Ltd’s continued investment in training, materials, and client communication positions the company to meet this demand while remaining faithful to its established values.

Wojciech Wasilewski emphasised that the company’s growth will remain measured and purpose-driven. Each improvement will be evaluated for its contribution to service quality, efficiency, and environmental benefit. The company aims to grow through reliability rather than volume, ensuring that each project reflects care, accuracy, and professionalism.

Voytec Decorator Ltd remains focused on precision, transparency, and lasting quality. Each project is planned and managed from preparation to completion with care, clear scheduling, and responsible material use.

Manor Works Painting, a residential painting and carpentry company based in Aldie, Virginia, has announced the launch of its Holiday Lighting Installation service, available to homeowners across Loudoun, Fairfax, and Prince William counties. The addition expands the company’s service portfolio to include seasonal exterior lighting installation focused on safety, efficiency, and consistent workmanship.

Established in 1998, Manor Works Painting has served Northern Virginia for more than two decades, offering interior and exterior painting, carpentry, and surface preparation. The decision to introduce holiday lighting installations was based on growing demand for professional assistance with outdoor lighting projects requiring specialized equipment and trained personnel.

The Holiday Lighting Installation program includes three key components: design planning, installation, and post-season removal. Each stage follows procedures that align with the company’s operating standards for residential work. Clients receive an on-site consultation and detailed estimate, followed by a layout plan covering lighting types, placement, and electrical needs. Installations are scheduled ahead of the holiday period to ensure safe setup and completion before adverse weather.

Lucia Tirondola, owner of Manor Works Painting, said the expansion aligns with the company’s focus on practical residential solutions. “Many residents prefer to delegate outdoor lighting to professionals with proper equipment and safety training,” Lucia Tirondola said. “This program offers an organized and secure way for families to display exterior lighting without the risks associated with working at height or managing electrical connections during winter.”

All work is completed by Manor Works employees rather than subcontractors. The full-time team receives regular instruction in ladder safety, fall protection, and residential electrical awareness. Installations use UL-certified materials rated for exterior conditions. The emphasis on direct employment and continual training ensures consistent oversight and accountability at every project stage.

Lighting designs are tailored for each property and may include roofline illumination, tree and shrub wrapping, and architectural outlining, windows, and entryways. Both LED and traditional incandescent styles can be installed, depending on preference. Technicians conduct safety checks on all electrical connections and, when requested, install timers or smart control systems to maintain compliance with local building codes and homeowner association requirements.

Lucia Tirondola added that the service also addresses time limitations many homeowners face during the holidays. “People often want decorative lighting but lack the time or ability to install it safely,” she said. “Our process makes setup predictable and efficient, and installations are labeled for easy removal or reuse the following season.”

Following installation, the company offers optional removal beginning in early January. The same crew handles disassembly, inspection, and packing, eliminating the need for homeowners to climb ladders or manage wiring after weeks of exposure to winter weather. Clients who wish to reuse their lighting can request labeled packaging for organized storage between seasons.

The new lighting program reflects a broader regional trend toward professional outdoor services combining safety and design compliance. Manor Works Painting expects the addition to support steady employment for its staff by offering seasonal work that complements its winter interior painting schedule.

As part of the rollout, the company has introduced quality-control steps for lighting projects, including pre- and post-installation inspections, adherence to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines, and the use of weather-resistant fasteners that prevent damage to home surfaces. Crews are trained to protect landscaping, gutters, and roofing materials during installation.

The Holiday Lighting Installation service is available in Aldie, Great Falls, McLean, and surrounding communities in Northern Virginia. Expansion within these areas was guided by the company’s established client base and operational capacity. Plans to review demand and customer feedback after the first season to assess additional service areas.

Lucia Tirondola stated that the long-term goal is to continue diversifying offerings while maintaining consistent workmanship. “Our focus has always been on strengthening our core services and introducing new capabilities that fit within our operational structure. This addition was designed to maintain the same level of coordination and professionalism seen in our painting projects,” she said.

The program is open for scheduling, with consultations available at no cost. Homeowners may request an appointment through the company’s website or by contacting the main office. Availability will be managed on a first-come, first-served basis during the peak decorating period from late November through early December.

Manor Works Painting is a family-owned residential contractor serving Northern Virginia. Since 1998, the company has completed thousands of interior and exterior painting projects across Loudoun, Fairfax, and Prince William counties. Its trained employees provide painting, carpentry, and seasonal decorating services supported by structured project management and communication systems. The company headquarters is located at 22727 Tail Race Road in Aldie, Virginia.

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Emily Kirby announced the integration of Journavx (suzetrigine), the FDA’s recently approved non-opioid pain medication, into her Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. The addition made Dr. Kirby among the first plastic surgeons in the region to incorporate the new medication into patient care protocols for rapid recovery plastic surgery.

“When I learned about Journavx, I knew immediately that it would be a perfect fit for what we’re already doing with our ERAS protocol,” said Dr. Kirby. “We have always focused on giving patients the most comfortable recovery possible, while avoiding heavy reliance on opioids whenever possible, and this gives us another excellent tool to do exactly that.”

Dr. Kirby developed her ERAS protocol over more than 14 years of practice, incorporating evidence-based techniques, including pre-operative preparation, strategic medication timing, ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, and early mobilization techniques.

“I’ve always believed that the best recovery comes from preventing pain from multiple angles rather than just throwing one strong, non-specific medication at it,” Dr. Kirby explained. “Journavx works completely differently from our nerve blocks and other techniques, so it effectively complements our comprehensive approach.”

The clinical trials that led to Journavx approval included abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedures, which Dr. Kirby performs regularly. In these trials, Journavx demonstrated significant pain reduction compared to placebo while performing similarly to traditional opioid combinations. Dr. Kirby noted that the medication’s favorable side effect profile, which included occasional mild skin irritation and muscle spasms, made it an attractive addition to her pain management approach for patients undergoing tummy tucks and other procedures.

“What interests me most about advances like this is seeing how much more comfortable my patients are during recovery,” noted Dr. Kirby. “When someone can get up and gently start moving around the day of surgery without significant discomfort, that’s when I know we’re doing something right.”

Dr. Kirby has been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for six consecutive years and a Texas Super Doctor for seven consecutive years. She operates at her office-based Quad A-accredited City Surgery Center, working with board-certified anesthesiologists.

Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kirby completed her medical training at Texas A&M College of Medicine, followed by a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at The University of Kentucky. She completed additional fellowship training in pediatric and craniofacial plastic surgery before establishing her Fort Worth private practice. Dr. Kirby also served as the first female Chief of Plastic Surgery at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital, the largest hospital in Fort Worth.

Drawing from this extensive training and experience, Dr. Kirby’s approach combines surgical techniques with individualized recovery plans based on each patient’s medical history and procedure requirements.

“My patients often tell me they were surprised by how manageable their recovery was,” Dr. Kirby stated. “Adding Journavx to our toolkit means we can offer even more patients that same positive experience without the nuisance of opioid side effects.”

The enhanced ERAS protocol with Journavx is now available to all qualifying patients at Kirby Plastic Surgery.
